My six year old has asked me several times to make her a "chore chart". I've tried, with just some paper on the computer, but we never seem to keep up with them. I have seen the CUTE calendars that people have made using cookie sheets and have wanted to try and make one. Then today, as I thought of merging the two ideas! This is what I came up with!
I started with a pizza pan that I used to use for something other than pizza.
Then, I covered it with some scrapbook paper and added some chipboard letters and flowers.
Notice, I had some of the pan showing on the top and bottom, so I added some ric rac around the outside. Then, I just glued strips of paper with things she needs to do each day onto magnets. I added the two little frames with "to do's" and "done" so that she could move the chore from to do to done herself! She helped out a little bit and thought that was fun. You could do this on a cookie sheet too and put more than one child on it! I just used all stuff I already had around the house, so I didn't have to put out any more money!
Now, I'm gonna put that kid to work.

Thanks for sharing this great idea!
That is such a clever idea!
I made a chore chart out of felt for my 4 year old that I posted about this past fall for the same reason (not wanting to print out a new chart every day/week) and it has worked great!
Love that you were able to create it with things you already had!
